Charles warns of possible investigation into T&T after US Midterms

For­mer Per­ma­nent Rep­re­sen­ta­tive to the Unit­ed Na­tions and UNC MP Rod­ney Charles is urg­ing the Gov­ern­ment to seek le­gal ad­vice on Trinidad and To­ba­go’s po­ten­tial ex­po­sure to in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion’s ac­tions, fol­low­ing the De­moc­rats’ vic­to­ry in the Unit­ed States midterm elec­tions.

In a state­ment sent to Guardian Me­dia, Charles warned that con­gres­sion­al in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the bomb­ing of sus­pect­ed drug ves­sels in Caribbean wa­ters and the cap­ture of Venezue­lan leader Nicolás Maduro could raise ques­tions about this coun­try’s in­volve­ment.
